Sparkle Talks Scenes Left Out of "Surviving R. Kelly", The Infamous Tape + More 

FULL STORY ►►► ihr.fm/2sFZ6h2

Sparkle lost her career, lost her family, last, lost all credibility Nd she still out here with her head hold high 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 good for her

If the little girl & her family would’ve testified that sacrifice could’ve saved every single girl and family that came after

It breaks my heart watching sparkle have to defend herself like this and have to beg for people to blame the perpetrator.

Big up to Toni Braxton for reaching out to Sparkle during a very hard and confusing time. She trill for that!

The parents of the niece should be in jail for neglect and abuse!!!!

Sparkle was the only one that sacrificed her career, coin, and image. 💪🏾Much Respect!

I unfortunately saw the video when I was 11-12 and knew it was him and knew that was wrong and nasty. 🙏🏽Thank you dad for having those hard and uncomfortable conversations because it always kept me on my toes🙏🏽

She is so brave! I love her! She sacrificed her entire family, her career/money, all in the name of doing what is right, trying to save a child and for truth! I truly love this woman for life and always believed her, she gets all respect due!!! She is an amazing person! God bless her always!

Have so much respect for her. She testified and didn't sell her soul...even when her family ostracized her.

It should be shortened to 'Surviving' and turned into a series. Make the next one about Harvey Weinstein.

It breaks my heart her family isn’t speaking with her behind this. Sparkle was only doing what’s right. 💔💔

Mary is lovely but Sparkle is so gorgeous! Her personality makes her even more gorgeous, and she is intelligent. Much respect to her.

I don't know about Sparkle's story and how her situation went down, but I confronted a sexual predator within my family and my family said I was wrong for putting our dirty laundry out there. They accused me of being insubordinate to an elder and that I had a hard heart and was unforgiving as if I was perfect. When I say that kind of thing messes with your head. Y'all don't hear me. For many years, I felt like I was in the twilight zone. Then especially when your support comes from your family. When your job or your resources comes from them, it is the most terrible position to be in. I began to feel that I was the evil person, that I had did something wrong. To this day, I still feel like a villain because I **dared**, I had the audacity to confront a child molester. I wasn't even the victim and I felt all twisted up on the inside, I can only imagine my family members who were his victims feel. That mob mentality will make you doubt your own name. You have no freaking idea. I walked away from that situation, quite unsure if I would **EVER** repeat my actions and confront a person of wrong doing ever again. That's how people are silenced. That's how its done.

Idc what ANYONE says...I believe Sparkle is being 100% real, and she is the ONLY one that tried to do the right thing as soon as she knew something was off!!

Sparkle has been 💯 from the jump. So proud she has stood her ground while speaking her truth and standing up 4 what's right. God protect her 🙏🏽

Can we talk about how sparkle does not age!!! She looks exactly the same.

Im convinced Charlamagne misses specific interviews on purpose

Her story has NEVER and I mean NEVER changed. I believe her.

Sparkle is GORGEOUS!!! 😍😍😍 and she keeps it so g, but she's still so classy!

She took those sunglasses off and I was like damn she looks good.

She right, people are stupid for the sake of being stupid. This lady done lost her career, family, money, probably almost her mind behind this and yall really think she gone be out here lying for years? And never once has her story changed she has always been very consistent.

I have always believed Sparkle from day one, and this interview makes me SO DAMN PROUD!!!She refuses to be silenced by RKelly and his pee brain followers!!

I love how Sparkle is so outspoken. She gone tell the truth REGARDLESS.

HAPPY TO HEAR HER CLEAR UP THINGS THAT WERE LEFT OUT OF THE DOCUMENTARY THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED.

Her story’s been the same for the last 15 years so she’s most likely telling the truth. Not sure why it’s hard for some ppl to believe.

It's crazy how the girl's family chose money over her. F MONEY, THAT'S YOUR FAM!!

“ I can’t win with stupidity” - Sparkle

I love her... and my spirit says she's telling the truth! GOD have mercy on his soul 🙇🏽‍♀️ kudos to the Braxton family! That's was great for them to help her.

Sparkle from the Chi. She just said her daddy gave her a Banger. She ain't worried about nobody runnin up on her. Kudos to Toni Braxton👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I think , just my opinion not fact , but I think this is why victims stay silent .. fear of being shamed and blamed .

Now, this is good! I wasn't expecting this realness and much respect to Sparkle! She stepped up by asking her fam, "What you doing?" Her niece will always remember that she was truly concerned about her wellbeing-props!

Who here bacc watching this after the R.Kelly Chicago case?

Soul not for sale !!! SPARKLE STAY STRONG

Our most important job as a parent is to PROTECT our kids

I cried so many times watching that documentary! I'm Brazilian, so I it was the first time I heard about the case. How come that man isn't in jail being tortured by the other guys is beyond my mind! I believe people who assume Sparkle has some responsabibility about it didn't watch the documentary. It is clear Sparkle has no fault about what happened. She only wanted to help her niece's career and as soon as she was told the poor girl was alone in the studio, she stepped in to protect her. It is told on the documentary. I'm really sorry it cost you your family for so much time. But you did what you had to do.

Sparkle has such a beautiful, caring & lovable personality!

Sparkle started the case going and testified in trial when the girl parents said it wasn't her, I don't understand the Sparkle hate.

Say what u will but her story has never changed.

Keep on keeping it real Sparkle and without a doubt.... "No weapon that s formed against you will prosper..."

Her story checks out ✔️ every single time. Her story has never changed. She is telling the entire truth. 💯

Ppl are so sad ppl blame everybody except for R.Kelly.

I love the fact that she took them shades off

It’s called Mind Control . R. Kelly s wife had to literally knock on her bedroom door and wait for Kelly to open the door for her to come out of the room in her own house. She probably couldn’t piss unless she asked his permission.

Love how she addresses those who are denying that these abuses happened..."I cant win with stupidity!"

I remember her song “Be Careful” back in 1998. I thought she looked real sad and her face just didn’t have any feelings or emotions. This is the first time I’m hearing her talk and do interviews.

She obviously been telling the truth for years. It pisses me off when people and women are so naive and blind and still support r Kelly and say the documentary was a lie. I was 17 in the Barbershop when the tape came out and they played it in there and I knew back then it was him.

I hope sparkle is doing good these days, she is a hero for sure!

Plot twist: We found out who the little girl was🤭 & Thank God for Sparkle cuz she’s the only one that kept it real from Day 1.

Sparkle could definately portray a young Diana Ross. Their facial structure is very similar!

*same story she told since day one.. TRUTH*

Sparkle is such a genuine soul. God bless her. It takes a brave person to expose the truth for justice

Never like sparkles music even the song “Be Careful” but I respect her for standing up for her niece.

She's so freaking honest, I can just feel it.

Sparkles family is on R kellys payroll.

i respect sparkle for speaking the truth and fighting for that little girl even though the victim and her family refused to fight.

Master Jesus loves you SPARKLE ❇️, I feel you girl, only God can reward you/me, we gotta wait patiently for our time to sparkle 🥰we are blessed 🥰💪🏽👍🏽

All of these families signed non-disclosures and accepted money over their daughters. Sad!

My heart goes out to Sparkle. In narcissistic systems that's what happens. The family protects the abuser and smears the whistle-blower and makes them the scapegoat (side note: if you want to know the truth about your family talk to the black sheep of it - they usually are the ones that know). Sparkle you are a precious soul who did the right thing even though it cost you so much. I know that hurts. I wish nothing but goodness for you.

Love her! The girl has back bone and fortitude. Those aren’t pretty descriptive words but it adds up to a very powerful girl. God bless her in Jesus name. ~ CG

Sparkle's album with R Kelly is fire though...but hearing her story makes me respect her even more than I already did. Bless her.

Only reason I believe sparkle is because her story stays the same, since the early 90s! Her entire family besides her brother has distanced themselves from her... smh all for money from rkelly..

Aaliyah's mother is covering up that they where at the studio and noticed what was happening with her underage daughter.

I have believed Sparkle from the very beginning. Her story has never changed.

You are amazing Sparkle!!! You go hard and speak your truth... I hope your niece comes out with the truth one day too xoxox I also hope time helps heals you and your family

I really enjoyed this interview without Charlamagne. Angela and Envy did a really good interview. No disrespect to the man but they compliment each other well not interrupting one another. Charlamagne always interrupts and talks over people. Good interview

Leave sparkle tf alone period. Rkelly is the monster, not her.

Sparkle is still so humble and beautiful! Built to last and mentally shes so strong and is a great auntie for having baby girls back

So happy to hear from this strong sista!

I believe you Sparkle! Thank you for your bravery! You are a strong black women!

People are horrible man. How can you listen to this women tell the truth and you mad at her for trying to protect her niece. Wow. Sick

I believe her! Why would she make this up?? People turned a deaf ear to what she was saying!

Half way thru I noticed Charlamange wasn’t there. That’s how good this was

The more Sparkle speaks, the more I love her.

Shout out to Toni Braxton for looking out for her. Sparkle's beautiful, hope to hear more from her.

Amazing Grace!🙏🙌😇 how sweet the Truth sounds!🤗 This sister never sold her soul. My first time hearing her story. Be encouraged Sparkle not discouraged God has your back!. He will make your enemies your footstools!.. Stay Strong!💪 Much Love & Support my Sista. So Proud of You🤗💝

Now that Roshonda has spoken at the trial I can tell she was lying. She's stuttering, talking fast and everything. Woow, she was behind everything that happened to her niece. That's so sad.

She could play Diana Ross in the remake of Mahogany.

Dj Envy is an amazing listener! He goes back and asks unanswered questions. He demands clarity. It’s disappointing to hear the great deal of judgement and skepticism, but impressive that he makes sure that ALL questions are addressed.

She just lied. From 89' to 92' she didn't see him. I thought she said 92'-96'. That would mean she was singing background for Aaliyah in 92'. He didn't know her then.

Sparkle, love how strong you are and how strong you stay!

The Braxtons reached out to her. WOW that was so nice.

I really feel for all of the women who’ve faced his narcissistically abusive side. WE don’t know the R. Kelly THEY know. It’s sad. Because they’re more men like this.

preach girl! love this interview, thank u... cause i knew that the documentary left out some major details literately cause this whole things is exhausting like she said "blame him, and his camp" period cause thats who was really doing wrong in the whole situation... how and what the hell is wrong with people? "its NOT OKAY!!

I am British, I have always respected this woman from back in the day. She is fire, she is a lioness. The industry could have never been able to handle her at her time so we wait for GOD’s time. I admire her so much, so powerful.

I hope that this interview finally clears Sparkle's name. Many of you here owe her an apology.

SPARKKE LOOKS LIKE A YOUNG DIANA ROSS SHE CAN PLAY DIANA ROSS IN HER BIOGRAPHY.

Mad you guys didn't play the song I went to another site and heard her - Love you more Sparkle, your song "We Are Ready" gave me chills - and that was the promo video 🥰

That first Sparkle album 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Everybody hating her but letting the parents off the hook, why?

You can really tell when someone is being honest & genuine vs when someone is lying.....and she's definitely being honest here. She could have embellished the story a lot but you can tell she's sticking to the facts of what really happened. Respect that!

I respect her strength in standing up, for the wrong, at any cost... My best friend did that for me, years ago and saved my life!! Not sexual but physical abuse and She spoke up not family!..ty .. For that I try to respect the truth of all and pay it forward!

It feels like Sparkle's family was paid off to not say anything. I hope and pray that Sparkle's niece gets the help she needs. 🙏

I have to admit, I’ve had a negative opinion of her since the mid 00s, because I thought she sacrificed her niece to further her career, but her explanation of everything seems credible

When her niece is ready to heal, she may seek out Sparkle as a safe space to be heard. Sparkle is a beautiful, brave soul in an industry and world that honours money and fame above love, truth and respect for ourselves and others. God bless you! I will buy her music just to support her.

Ha! Best Sparkle comment - "I can't win with stupidity".

It's easy to pretend to be a good person but hard to live your Truth!

She is a mix between Mary j Blige and Diana Ross

I really have a new found respect for Sparkle. She literally sacrificed her career to bring the abuser of her family member to justice. Even fell out with her own family over it because they wanted to help protect the abuser. I would luv to have an aunt like Sparkle. Hey, Aunt Sparkle!

I'm glad to see Sparkle again I believen her always Because she is telling the truth & Sparkle is also 1 of my favourite artist too & She is a Fantastic artist & I'm glad she stayed strong & been brave too
